Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the closest club, it is rowdy
Dancing, yeah, bodies grinding
Music pumping, sweat pouring
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Why can't we stay forever this way
The day is young and the rays are calling
We don't want to go, we are stalling
Singing, yeah, ears chiming
Rhythm thumping, we are soaring (We are soaring)
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Let's break the beat down
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
Why can't we stay forever this way
Slaves of the rhythm
The lyrics to E.X.T.I.N.C.I.O.N.'s song "Slaves of the Rhythm" describe the feeling of being completely swept up and consumed by the energy and excitement of a night out clubbing. The first verse sets the scene as the night is just beginning and the anticipation and energy are building, "The night is young and we start crawling, to the closest club, it is rowdy. Dancing, yeah, bodies grinding, music pumping, sweat pouring." The chorus then asks the rhetorical question of why we can't stay in this moment of pure, unfiltered pleasure and abandon forever, as we are slaves to the rhythm and the experience it brings.
The second verse continues this theme, but this time from the perspective of not wanting to leave as the day begins and responsibility beckons, "The day is young and the rays are calling, we don't want to go, we are stalling. Singing, yeah, ears chiming, rhythm thumping, we are soaring." The bridge invites us to "break the beat down" and be fully present in the moment, continuing to ask why we can't stay in this blissful state forever, "Why can't we stay forever this way, slaves of the rhythm."
